The battery life for the van will be 270 miles, which means a lot of driving can be done between charges.

Video Game Release
Xbox One X –
Microsoft has a new game console, the Xbox One X and it is already on presale. This new console is enhanced with 4K and HDR support and there are more than 100 games ready once it’s released!
Nintendo –
Nintendo created the Super NES Classic Edition, a remake of one of their greatest games, and it went on pre-sale last Tuesday. However, the pre-order was chaotic, some pre-orders went up unexpectedly and they all sold out instantly, which left many people disappointed and empty handed. Nintendo has now had two poorly executed product launches, so hopefully they figure out improvements for their next product.
